I have heard he be workin on his next parable whilst suppin his grog in the Admiral Benbow...'The Prodigal Cabin Boy'.

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Give me a break. That was my first ever parable. I bet Jesus started off with completely rubbish ones. Maybe I should stick to being a Leper.

Don't let anyone put down your maiden parable, Bart. I had never heard a juxtaposition of "the parable of the foolish wenches" and "going commando" before, and it is surely inspired teaching...

And you are correct about JC's early material (everything from *before* he took his perfected act on the road). I've heard rumors about early attempts in suppressed gospels, such as "A Priest, a Levite, and a Good Samaritan walk into a bar..."

I see where JC went wrong there. It should have been: 'A Priest, a Levite, a Good Samaritan and an Irish Pharisee walk into a bar...no...no, hang on...The Irish Pharisee was already in the bar drinking Guinness.

I must thank Ham Nox for reviving this thread, even if it was only to comment on Bart's parable instead of one of mine. It seems I must once more till the creative soil that is the unwritten scripture of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in a probably futile attempt to be known as someone other than 'that headless guy who started the thread Bart had that parable in. You know, the one with the wenches without undies.'

Haha, I was more commenting for someone else's sake. I LOOOOOOOOOVE your parables, an' if they don't wind up in the Loose Canon I might have to kill someone .

In fact, I was reading them to a good friend, and when I got done I thought "What the hay, I'll read her BlackBart's parable while I'm still on the page." The comment belongs to her.

I'm not sure I get the point of BlackBart's parable, if there is one to be found. During my short-lived attempt to compile the Loose Canon myself (A project that may one day continue if I ever find my flash-drive... This is why it's important to have back-up copies of everything ), I included it with a note assigning the meaning of the parable to be 'Don't over-analyze: Some stories just don't have a point.'

I think it's a pretty important thing to remember while reading the Loose Canon, don't you?
